ALEKS Corporation, a leading provider of web-based learning and
assessment solutions for mathematics, science, and business courses,
today announced that the New Mexico Public Education Department has
approved select ALEKS K-12 mathematics courses for inclusion on the
state’s 2012 Adopted Math Supplemental List.

The 2012 Adopted Math Supplemental List provides suggested supplemental
resources for use in New Mexico’s public schools. The goal of the list
is to provide school systems with a variety of learning resources to
better meet the needs of a diverse student population. The recommended
materials have been thoroughly reviewed to ensure they are of highest
quality to benefit students.

With the approval of ALEKS on the 2012 Adopted Math Supplemental List,
more schools will be able to implement the program, allowing more
students to explore totally individualized learning, continuously
optimized by ALEKS’ artificial intelligence and to experience dramatic
learning outcomes in mathematics.

“I love using ALEKS with my math students because it allows each student
to work on what he or she needs,” said Dolly Feather, a teacher at Dulce
Middle School in Dulce. “The students who are below grade level
gradually build their knowledge by concentrating on the topics that they
are ready to tackle, rather than being frustrated by material that is
too hard for them. Higher performing students are challenged by more
difficult tasks and often work harder to move to higher levels.”

Using artificial intelligence and adaptive questioning, ALEKS identifies
precisely what a student knows and doesn’t know within a course. Through
truly individualized instruction on the exact topics the student is most
ready to learn, ALEKS targets gaps in knowledge and enables immediate
success in learning new material. ALEKS also offers comprehensive
coverage of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and includes robust
progress monitoring for teachers and administrators. ALEKS can be used
for a variety of instructional purposes including ESL/ELL, remediation,
intervention, gifted, and special education.

The following ALEKS courses have been approved by the New Mexico Public
Education Department for supplemental use by schools in the state:

ALEKS Corporation is a leader in the creation of web-based, artificially
intelligent educational software. ALEKS assessment and learning
technologies were originally developed by a team of cognitive
scientists, mathematicians, and software engineers at the University of
California, Irvine, with major funding from the National Science
Foundation. ALEKS is founded on groundbreaking research in mathematical
cognitive science known as Knowledge Space Theory. Through adaptive
questioning, ALEKS accurately assesses a student’s knowledge state, and
then delivers targeted instruction on the topics a student is most ready
to learn.

ALEKS has been used by millions of students in over 50 different
mathematics, science, and business courses at thousands of K-12 schools,
colleges, and universities throughout the world. For additional
